RUMBLINGS: “CNN Boss Jeff Zucker Will Be Out On His Ass Soon” (VIDEO)

In a video statement posted to Twitter on Friday, Roger Stone, from the offices of Time Warner, reported CNN boss Jeff Zucker will be out of a job after the AT&T–Time Warner merger is complete.

ROGER STONE: “I’m Roger Stone for Infowars. CNN is owned by Time Warner. When the AT&T–Time Warner merger goes down, CNN chairman Jeff Zucker will be out on his ass. You heard it here first, at Infowars.”

“There was early talk about the way Zucker managed that wasn’t a good fit for the new organization,” one source said. “They were eyeing ways to neutralize him.”

That desire leaves Zucker facing an uncertain future that includes the possibility of getting unceremoniously dumped, one source said.

Other potential scenarios include AT&T kicking the 52-year-old executive upstairs with a corporate title that strips him of any power over CNN — or a sale of the network that would let AT&T wash its hands of any future messes.

Zucker could also cash out his significant holdings of Time Warner stock and walk away from the network filthy rich, media execs said.

AT&T, when asked Wednesday about Zucker’s future at CNN, seemed to dodge the question.

“We value all of Time Warner’s assets and strongly believe that the combination of our two companies will help ignite a new wave of innovation in media and entertainment,” Larry Solomon, SVP of corporate communications at AT&T, told The Post in a statement.

Of course, AT&T would have to wait until the deal closes to make any personnel moves.

Sean Hannity has even tweeted about Jeff Zucker referring to him as Acosta’s ‘soon to be fired boss, Jeff Zucker’
